Wheel of Family Fortune

Here’s a fun game where it pays to know your family history. Similar to Wheel of Fortune on TV, this game tests your knowledge of your family’s ancestor names. It can be played individually or with up to four individuals–play as a family or as teams.

Wheel of Family Fortune is a free, fun, web-based computer game where you guess letters to discover an ancestor (similar to the game Wheel of Fortune on TV). After you solve for your ancestor, you can click into Family Search to learn more about this ancestor. Once you are in Family Search, simply click on Find and put in your relative’s first and last name and year of birth listed on the game page.
